In Aeternum
Biography
In Aeternum is a Swedish black/death metal band from Sandviken (Gävleborg), formed in 1994. They are veterans of the Swedish underground scene, known for a raw, blasphemous blend of aggressive death metal riffs, black metal atmosphere, melodic elements, and thrashing energy.
The band originally started in 1992 under the name Behemoth (not to be confused with the Polish band) by guitarist/bassist David "Impious" Larsson and vocalist Demogorgon. They changed the name to In Aeternum in 1994 and have been led by Larsson ever since. Their sound draws from classic Swedish death/black traditions, with themes centered on Satanism, anti-Christianity, blasphemy, death, hatred, and darkness. They were active through the late 90s and early 2000s, released material on labels like Necropolis Records, then went through periods of reduced activity before returning with new releases.
